sons of liberty

our two-headed democracy
birthed a bi-polar
political revolution––

a quieter, people-serving one
& a brutal, egotistical,
bombastic one

we don’t believe in
government––
we don’t even
vote––

we see our fellow country
men as enemies
& we hate
them––

we hate outsiders
too

we seem to be
entertained by thundering
aches in our heads––

we want freedom of
speech
to be politically
incorrect––

to impress & horrify
the world
with inconsistent
threats

that keep the media
on edge

we want freedom of
religion
as long as its our own
brand

we love titanic
struggles & the sight
of blood––

soon we will
be great
again

with a white god
president
with his mop-top
hair

nobody can push us
around

we’re mad
as hell
& ready to go
to war with
everybody

war is the way
we do
business

we don’t take
prisoners

& we’re here
to win
